Volume configuration
A volume is a logical partition of a pool and is exposed as block devices for operating system
access. Each volume can also be perceived as a storage representation of a segment. Since the
StoreAll file system imposes a limit of 8 TB for each segment, the volume sizes are also ensured to
be within this supported limit.
Volume configurations are dependent on drive type. Table 6 (page 11) and Table 7 (page 11)
show the drive type for each storage layout with the MDS600 enclosure.
